For some reason, I am unable to make changes to my working directory persist, from one emacs-lisp SRC block to the next.
For example, consider the following: * Literate programming in a single session :PROPERTIES: :header-args: :var DIR="/Users/adam/Desktop/test" :END: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :session *elisp* (cd DIR) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : /Users/adam/Desktop/test/ #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :session *elisp* (cd ".") #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : /Users/adam/org/ The :header-args: define a starting directory (DIR="/Users/adam/Desktop/test"). The first block establishes the *elisp* session and navigates into DIR, using (cd DIR). Confirmation is then seen in the #+RESULTS. A second block is then created in the same *elisp* session. This simply echos the current working directory with (cd "."). BUT... the #+RESULTS show that the working directory has not persisted from our first block and has instead, defaulted to the default org-mode directory. Now, I realise that I could have used :dir in my initial :header-args: to set the same working directory for all blocks. But what I am interested in is why my changes are not persisting, when (if I am not mistaken) this is the entire point of establishing a session? Thanks! Adam Sneller
